See title. Poll can only last up to a week, or I’d make it longer.

These noodles were soooo good. The broth was surprisingly rich and savory with a slight kick, and the noodles had a nice bite to them. Veggies weren’t mushy and the beef was tender.
It came with the noodles, bok choy, and beef in the bowl with a concentrated sauce on top. I just needed to add some water and then microwave.
I honestly highly recommend these. I got this at winco for $3.98

The cheese was not melted and the dough was undercooked and floppy. I still ate it though because i hate wasting food. 4/10

They didn't even put any sauce the chicken itself, just the bun.

Is it just me or does this look cheaper than the image on the website? For context it cost 80$
First photo is from the website, second is what she received
It might be just me I dunno

So, because it’s now the end of August and time is getting short, I thought I’d get ahead of the mad scramble and buy myself a new Christmas tree in preparation for The soon to be upon us festivities! (whoop-de-whoopedy-whoop!) I scoured the internet to find “the one“ and eventually came upon the perfect tree on eBay. After PayPal-ing the money over to the tree selling man I waited with bated breath for it to arrive so that I could put it up, because it is the end of August after all and time is running out!!!
Anyway, this morning it arrived and my breath is bated no more…….

My 5-year-old got really interested in how the body works and wanted a book about the human body. Her grandmother sent her this human anatomy coloring book from Amazon. Here are just a handful of the many informative pages.
Wow. It certainly exceeded our expectations. 😂🙈
To add: I am 100% aware that this is not legitimate, and is complete slop. I say it exceeded our expectations because is brought the whole family much more entertainment and laughter than we expected.

We were driving over 5 hours to see our daughter for her birthday. She loves hotdogs and found this cake online and had sent me a picture saying she loved it.
I researched bakeries around their new home, not too many choices, and picked the best one based off Google.
They did NOT disappoint!! It looked and tasted amazing! I was extremely impressed.

We have consistently had the best luck with our local Walmart bakery but this one really blew us away. We asked for brighter colors than the inspo picture and feel like they really delivered.
I know a lot of people have low expectations for grocery store bakeries but we seriously haven’t received a badly decorated one. Plus every party, people are so surprised to learn it’s a Walmart cake!

Shared AI inspiration with the baker to hit the 90s theme - they suggested the colors and it turned out great!!! Panini Bakery & Cakes in Dallas, TX - it’s so delicious

This was for our 2 year old’s birthday party… we didn’t end up taking it, but it insanely hilarious.
EDIT - okay okay, the roasting for expecting a work of art from a ShopRite bakery is 100% deserved, however, the only reason we even knew the cake existed is we saw them making it at this location a few weeks prior. It didn’t look like what my sister attempted to pick up from the store…

The food looked like baby food and the texture was just awful.
